Even though I’m in the same category (currently spend less than half), this approach isn’t viable for everyone. Some people work hard and long, but just have too high expenses by just existing. You can’t really be frugal on rent and basic food, you need something.
there were things involved like moving a couple of times between countries, a divorce, refocusing on a different career to be able to get where I wanted to be.

What the fuck. It took you 20 years to get to a point where you can comfortably rent a place to live and buy food?
This system is beyond saving
